Howdy~! !! We're so glad that you finally found us here, in this page! 

Because you are now looking at the encyclopedia of almost everthing about E-paper display

(To better define the work we are doing and to avoid confusion, we hereby mean the thing is also

referred as including electronic paper/e ink display/electropherotic display/electronic ink display/dot matrix type bistable display).

This is the prologue for this so special column, where we will try out best to make it clear for makers,

developers, engineers and even for electronic maniacs that knows not much but really would like to give a try for e-paper displays!

And we first must have an excellent contents for your easy guidance to whatever you wish to find an answer

solving exactly the very problem you have during using our E-paper display products!

We will later embody the contents here below for you and start our work, updating them and fullfilling them

with clear words, images and even videos with rich experience we have accumulated through years.

With best luck, this page will help you greatly!

Also do let us know if you have better suggestion because we will be glad to include your information

and good conselling into this encyclopedia so to make it better, close to perfection!
